Non-Agency 3,942  4,150 
Total available-for-sale securities $ 8,029,955  $ 8,327,149 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company pledged AFS securities with a carrying value of $8.0 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively, as collateral for repurchase agreements. See Note 12 - Repurchase Agreements.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any securities purchased from and financed with the same counterparty that did not meet the conditions of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, to be considered linked transactions and, therefore, classified as derivatives.
The Company is not required to consolidate VIEs for which it has concluded it does not have both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the entities’ performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entities that could be significant. The Company’s investments in these unconsolidated VIEs include all non-Agency securities, which are classified within available-for-sale securities, at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value, which also represents the maximum exposure to loss, of all non-Agency securities in unconsolidated VIEs was $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
